RESUMO

Stable palladium (II) complexes, incorporating a double (N-benzoylthiourea) arrangement bonded to a complex heterocyclic scaffold, are used as precursors of catalytic species able to promote Suzuki-Miyaura, Mizoroki-Heck, Hiyama, Buchwald-Hartwig, Hirao and Sonogashira-Hagihara cross-coupling transformations in water. These sustainable processes are chemoselective and very versatile. The nanoparticles responsible for these catalytic reactions were analyzed and studied. Their usefulness is demonstrated after several tests and analyses. The heterogeneous character of this species in water was also confirmed.

RESUMO

The synthesis and biological assessment of novel multi-functionalized pyrrolidine-containing benzenesulfonamides were reported along with their antimicrobial, antifungal, CAs inhibition, and AChE inhibition as well as DNA-binding effects. The chemical structure of the compounds was elucidated by using FTIR, NMR, and HRMS. Compound 3b, which had Ki values of 17.61 ± 3.58 nM (hCA I) and 5.14 ± 0.61 nM (hCA II), was found the be the most potent CAs inhibitor. Compounds 6a and 6b showed remarkable AChE inhibition effects with Ki values 22.34 ± 4.53 nM and 27.21 ± 3.96 nM in comparison to tacrine. Compounds 6a-6c had moderate antituberculosis effect on M. tuberculosis with a MIC value of 15.62 µg/ml. Compounds had weaker antifungal and antibacterial activity in the range of MIC 500-62.5 µg/ml against standard bacterial and fungal strains. Besides these above, molecular docking studies were performed to examine and evaluate the interaction of the remarkable compounds (3b, 6a and 6b) against the current enzymes (CAs and AChE). Novel compounds gained interest in terms of enzyme inhibitory potencies. Therefore, the most potent enzyme inhibitors may be considered lead compounds to be modified for further research.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

RESUMO

To overcome numerous health disorders, heterocyclic structures of synthetic or natural origin are utilized, and notably, the emergence of various side effects of existing drugs used for treatment or the resistance of disease-causing microorganisms renders drugs ineffective. Therefore, the discovery of potential therapeutic agents that utilize different modes of action is of utmost significance to circumvent these constraints. Pyrrolidines, pyrrolidine-alkaloids, and pyrrolidine-based hybrid molecules are present in many natural products and pharmacologically important agents. Their key roles in pharmacotherapy make them a versatile scaffold for designing and developing novel biologically active compounds and drug candidates. This review aims to provide an overview of recent advancements (especially during 2015-2023) in the exploration of pyrrolidine derivatives, emphasizing their significance as fundamental components of the skeletal structure. In contrast to previous reviews that have predominantly focused on a singular biological activity associated with these molecules, this review consolidates findings from various investigations encompassing a wide range of important activities (antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, cholinesterase inhibition, and carbonic anhydrase inhibition) exhibited by pyrrolidine derivatives. This study is also anticipated to serve as a valuable resource for drug research and development endeavors, offering significant insights and guidance.

RESUMO

A series of novel palladium(II) and nickel(II) complexes of multifunctionalized aroylaminocarbo-N-thioylpyrrolinates were synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The biological properties of the freshly prepared compounds were screened against S. aureus, B. subtilis, A. hydrophila, E. coli, and A. baumannii bacteria and antituberculosis activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv strains. Also, the antifungal activity was studied against C. albicans, C. tropicalis, and C. glabrata standard strains. A deep conformational survey was monitored using DFT calculations with the aim to explain the importance of the final conformation in the biological experimental results.

RESUMO

This study was undertaken to investigate the degradation of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and cloxacillin in aqueous solution by the combined effect of subcritical water and the oxidising agents O2, H2O2, and K2S2O8. Nano ZnO was used as a solid catalyst. Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum experimental parameters (temperature, treatment time, and concentration of oxidising agent). For 6-APA, the maximum organic carbon (TOC) removal rates of 83.54%, 81.11% and 42.42% were obtained using H2O2, K2S2O8, and O2, respectively. For cloxacillin, the maximum TOC removal rates of 67.69%, 76.02% and 14.45% were obtained using H2O2, K2S2O8, and O2, respectively. Additionally, the impact of nano and commercial ZnO on TOC removal rates was determined. Secondary ions produced during the degradation process-such as nitrite, nitrate, sulphate and chloride-were determined using ion chromatography.

RESUMO

The acid dissociation constants of potential bioactive fused ring thiohydantoin-pyrrolidine compounds were determined by potentiometric titration in 20% (v/v) ethanol-water mixed at 25 ± 0.1°C, at an ionic background of 0.1 mol/L of NaCl using the HYPERQUAD computer program. Proton affinities of potential donor atoms of the ligands were calculated by AM1 and PM3 semiempiric methods. We found, potentiometrically, three different acid dissociation constants for 1a-f. We suggest that these acid dissociation constants are related to the carboxyl, enol, and amino groups.

RESUMO

Naturally occurring indole-3-carbinol and 3,3-diindolylmethane show bioactivity in a number of disparate disease areas, including cancer, prompting substantial synthetic analogue activity. We describe a new approach to highly functionalised derivatives that starts from allene gas and proceeds via the combination of a three-component Pd(0)-catalysed cascade with a one-pot, three-component carbophilic Pt(II) cascade linked to a stereoselective acid-catalysed Mannich-Michael reaction that generates complex cyclopropyl diindolylmethanes which show selective activity against prostate cancer cell lines.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Cardiac valvular pathologies are frequently encountered as mechanical and functional disorders due to the calcification of the valves whatever the etiologies are. This pathophysiologic table usually ends up with valvular replacement. In this study, we aimed to decrease/eliminate the calcium in the excised calcified human heart valves by using citric acid in vitro hence bringing about the question for possible oral treatment of calcification of the valves by citric acid ingestion. METHODS: Fourteen pieces of mitral and/or aortic valves excised from 12 patients undergoing valve replacement were placed in a freshly prepared phosphate buffered saline solution containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde at +4 0C for 48 h. They were rinsed with 0.9% NaCl and divided into two groups; study and control. Control tissues were further treated in a freshly prepared solution with identical properties for another 5 days. Study tissues were placed into a solution containing 3.8% citric acid (pH 7.4) and kept for 48 h at +37 degrees C, then rinsed with 0.9% NaCl and transferred into a fresh solution containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde with phosphate buffer at 37 0C for 3 more days. Specimens were biochemically and histopathologically evaluated and compared using Mann Whitney U test. RESULTS: Calcium and phosphate levels in the study group were lower than in the control group (852.5+/-913.41 microg g-1 vs 413.05+/-519.53 microg g-1, p=0.001 and 207.6+/-321.86 microg g-1 vs 124.4+/-289.48 microg g-1, p=0.035, respectively). Malondialdehyde and protein level values were changed insignificantly in the control and study groups. Histopathologic evaluation showed that collagen and elastin fibers were similar in both groups. In the study group, irregular and fusiform calcific formations around the collagen fibers were significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS: Decalcifying human heart valves in vitro conditions with citric acid without an adverse change to the morphology of the valvular tissue specimens is meaningful. We believe that forwarding and looking for the answer to the question "whether systemic application of citric acid could lead to the decalcification and/or reduction of calcification in the native human heart valves" would be expressive.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Calcification is a frequent cause of the clinical failure of bioprosthetic heart valves fabricated from glutaraldehyde pretreated bovine pericardium. The major object of the present study is to prevent calcification of pericardial bioprosthetic heart valve materials with TPEN. METHODS: Bovine pericardium was cut into 2-cm 2 pieces, rinsed in phosphate-buffered saline solution, transferred into +4 degrees C phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde for initial fixation for 48 h, and allocated into two groups. Control samples were treated in an identical fresh solution for five more days. Others underwent additional fixation in phosphate-buffered saline 2microM TPEN for 48 h. They were then transferred into phosphate-buffered saline + 0.625% glutaraldehyde solution at 37 degrees C (pH 7.4) for three more days. Pericardial patches were inserted into the dorsal pouches of 18 juvenile male Wistar rats as control and study groups. Rats were divided into two groups and sacrificed consecutively by the end of 9th and 12th weeks. The biomechanical properties and calcium contents of explanted tissues were tested and were also assessed histopathologically. RESULTS: The difference in the calcium contents of the control and study groups' pericardial tissues at the 9th, and 12th weeks were statistically significant (p=0.0001, p=0.0001). The comparison of calcium contents between controls of 9th and 12th weeks and study groups' of the 9th and 12th weeks pericardial tissues were also significant (p=0.0001 and p=0.0001). Histopathologic and biomechanical assessment also supported these findings. CONCLUSION: Calcific degeneration of glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium can be reduced by using TPEN without any effect on durability.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two-stage EDTA treatment in diminishing calcific degeneration in bovine pericardial bioprosthetic heart valve material. MATERIAL/METHODS: Conventionally preserved pericardium specimens were divided into two groups. Group I (controls, n=18) pieces were first fixed in phosphate-buffered solution (PBS)+0.6% glutaraldehyde at +4 degrees C for 24 hours, then stored in PBS+0.2% glutaraldehyde at room temperature for 6 days. Group II (study group, n=18) pieces were treated with PBS containing 100 microg/ml ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) at +4 degrees C for 24 hours, then fixed in PBS+0.6% glutaraldehyde as was group I at +4 degrees C for 24 hours. After a second exposure to PBS containing 100 microg/ml EDTA at room temperature for 24 hours, they were stored in PBS+0.2% glutaraldehyde at room temperature for 4 days. Pericardial patches were inserted into the dorsal pouches of 18 juvenile male Wistar rats. After 7 weeks of implantation, all the pericardium pieces were harvested from sacrificed rats. The calcium content and biomechanical properties of the explanted tissues were evaluated and also examined histopathologically. RESULTS: The difference in the calcium content of the control and study groups was statistically significant. Biomechanical and histopathologic assessment also supported these findings. CONCLUSIONS: Application of two-stage EDTA was found to be useful in the attenuation of calcification in bioprosthetic heart valve materials with mildly increased durability. As calcification was reduced by approximately 50%, it can be considered for use with other agents as an adjuvant treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Although current bioprosthetic heart valves have low thrombogenicity and favorable hemodynamic properties, their durability remains unsatisfactory. Valve failure usually occurs from calcific degeneration. The study aim was to investigate the effect of a chelating agent, citric acid (CA), on calcification in bovine pericardium. METHODS: Freshly excised bovine pericardium was dissected free from adhering fat tissue and cut into 1- cm2 pieces; these were rinsed in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS), transferred into +4 degrees C PBS containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde (GA) for initial fixation, and then allocated to two groups. Control samples received the same treatment in a fresh solution for 5 days. The other samples underwent an additional fixation step in PBS (pH = 7.4, 37 degrees C) containing 3.8% CA for a period of 48 h (30 ml/g tissue) and were then transferred into freshly prepared PBS + 0.625% GA solution at 37 degrees C for a further 3 days. To investigate calcification rate, pericardial patches were inserted into the dorsal pouches of 15 juvenile male Wistar rats for 42 days. Tissue calcium levels were measured with atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and also assessed histopathologically. RESULTS: The calcium content of CA-treated pericardium was significantly lower than that of controls (66.4 +/- 33.5 and 111.4 +/- 27.2 mg/g, respectively; p = 0.000). In general, the degree of calcification in histological sections agreed well with results of the chemical analyses. Control pericardial tissues showed moderate to severe solid mineral depositions, predominantly parallel to the implant surface, whereas only minor traces of calcium were found in CA-treated tissues. CONCLUSION: These preliminary data suggest that calcific degeneration in bovine pericardium may be reduced by using CA as a chelating agent.

RESUMO

Calcification is the most frequent cause of the clinical failure of bovine pericardium bioprosthetic valves, preventing their widespread application for surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to minimize calcific degeneration in bovine pericardium by using a chelating agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Freshly excised bovine pericardium was dissected free from adhering fat tissue and cut into 1-cm(2) pieces that were rinsed in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) and transferred into 4 degrees C PBS containing 1% glutaraldehyde (GA) for initial fixation, then allocated into two groups. Group I received the same treatment in a fresh solution for 5 more days. Group II underwent an additional fixation step in PBS solution (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C) containing 11% EDTA for a period of 48 h (30 ml/g tissue) and was then transferred into freshly prepared PBS + 1% GA solution at 37 degrees C for another 3 days. To investigate the calcification rate, pericardial patches were inserted into the dorsal pouches of 25 male Wistar rats for 21 days. Calcium levels were measured with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and examined histo-pathologically. The calcium content of EDTA-treated pericardium (Group II), 21 +/- 3.8 microg/mg, was significantly lower than that of Group I, 43.3 +/- 9.2 microg/mg. Assessment of the degree of calcification in the histological sections generally agreed well with the results of the chemical analyses. Calcium deposition in Group I samples were found to be solid mineral depositions, whereas in the Group II pericardial samples, only smaller traces of calcium were found. Calcific degeneration in bovine pericardium can be reduced by using chelates such as EDTA.
